I had received an interview for the SACP program at UBC in the previous cycle and the interview request email had come in mid February. Hope that helps!

I have heard that they're quite difficult to get into, and they're competitive as well but that also might depend on the program and university. In terms of admission rates, I do know that UBC does, you can find it on their website when you look up their M.A and M.Ed program in Counseling, I'm sure other universities do as well because they do have to report their admission rates. I think the only way to become a mental health counselor is by obtaining a Master's degree in Counseling or Social Work and meeting the requirements of practicum/internship experience. You can find more about certification on the CCPA website, along with regulatory body within your province, such as the CRPO or BCACC. You could also look into programs in the U.S., that are CACREP accredited which follow the same guidelines as programs within Canada, for certification. Hope that helped! And if I'm incorrect about anything, hopefully someone can follow up.

Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing well. This was just a question for those individuals that have been accepted into or are currently in Counseling Psychology PhD programs, I was wondering what kind of stats you had in terms of GPA, GRE, research, EC's and so forth. I was just hoping to understand if there are areas where I can focus on for the next application cycle to help strengthen my application or if my current stats are good enough. Thank you so much in advance.
